QUESTIONNAIRE

RIGHT TO LIFE

Under what circumstances should abortion be allowed?

Never

Abortion providers, including Planned Parenthood, should not receive funds from federal, state, or local governments (including Title X grants).

Strongly Agree

I support 'aid in dying' laws which legalize assisted suicide and euthanasia.

Strongly Disagree


ECONOMY

What changes, if any, should be made to the tax code?

Simplify the code-Fair tax

What government spending would you reduce in order to balance the budget?

All non essential or pork that is not related to the constitutional responsibility of the government.

HEALTHCARE

What most closely matches your view on healthcare: A) Healthcare for all should be guaranteed and funded by the government with no private healthcare option. (includes "universal healthcare," "medicare for all," etc.) B) Healthcare insurance funded by the government should be available for all who want it, along with private healthcare options. C) Medicaid and Medicare should remain available, but no other taxpayer-funded programs are necessary. D)Tax-payer funded health care should be abolished in all forms, and Medicaid and Medicare should be de-funded.

Item C is the most appropriate in today’s environment, but removing the government from the insurance industry making it more affordable and efficient is my preference.

Never

VALUES
